I don't mean the cane.
I remember vaguely from primary school a maths question:
If a tramp found can make a cigarette from 5 butts, keeping the butt of each one he smoked to use in another cigarette, how many butts would he need to find to smoke 10 cigarettes a day?
What were you taught that kids wouldn't be taught now? |

I was in primary school in the 70's. Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson were considered funny back then, darts players supped pints and smoked tabs at matches and The Sweeney hadn't had their breakfast. |

when I was in school, I refused to play rugby during games. When we had rugby I just didn’t bring my kit.
My games teacher would lose his rag every time and hit me with the clip board on top of my head.
If he did that now he’s probably get beaten up in the changing rooms |

Bernard Manning is still my favourite ever comedian ! Saw him loads of times at his club when I lived up there from the age of 18 to 26 .
Used to love Alf Garnett too 
And yeah , times change . I remember watching snooker on the box in the seventies and the players chain smoked throughout the game . It was a different world we lived in , and grew up in .
Back on topic , there was ,any a time the teacher would throw the board cleaner across the classroom to get a kids attention , and getting the cane was a badge of honour !
And if you forgot your PE kit , you did it in hour underwear !

I watched an old episode of Bullseye the other night and Jocky Wilson came on for Bronze Bully with a ciggy in his hand  |

Is it 45? As he can use the butts of the ones he makes to make another? And still have four buts left.....
I was taught that memorising useless information was a valuable tool and essential in later life.
They feckin lied. Although useful for pub quizzes.

PE in your underwear if you forgot your kit
Staff vs Pupils rugby games where the teachers targetted the naughty kids for particularly rough tackles.
We had a particularly sadistic chemistry teacher who if your top button wasn't done up would str*ngle you with your tie.
He also on one occasion when a kid accidentally set fire to some sulphur made him carry the dish round the classroom ingesting the fumes. |

My IT teacher smoked in class while we played on lemmings. He didn't give a shit. My RE techer threw a table at me. I also got locked in a cupboard full of confiscated booze for 2 hours to do lines. Didn't finish the lines but it was a good 2 hours! Got suspended for that but worth it. By that I mean I drank the booze... just in case it needed explaining.  |

Some still do the tie thing, but in a jokey way. |

This wasn't jokey - can remember many a kid going bright red in the face due to lack of oxygen and the thing is he got away with it for years |

"I got the slipper at least once a month right through school and always for smoking"
I spent 10 years at boarding school and one of our housemaster's deputy had a plimsoll who was called Bernard. He may as well have hit you with a wet kipper for what use it was   |

It's called peanutting now and they have a talk on how dangerous it is, in year 7. |

Haha I remember a few things that have been said already.
PE teachers watching you shower and doing PE in your underwear if you forgot your kit.
Or worse wearing a skanky spare one 
Teachers knicking your fags and smoking them.
Smoking in the toilets.
Things on fire in Science class.
Chalk being thrown across the room by teachers when you weren't listening.
Being sent home from school if you were in incorrect uniform.

That's because you're not old enough to remember such questions, but they did exist ha! The variant I remember was a bit different and a bit of a trick;
"If a tramp can make a cigarette from each 5 butts that he finds, how many cigarettes can he make from 25 butts?"
Answer was 6 as obviously he'd smoke the 5 he made and make another from the butts of them.

New Concept English, back.in the 1970s (and still in use in English as a Foreign Language classes around the globe) frequently refers to drinking and smoking. I remember one lesson in particular that revolves around a host being visited by a friend and the 'polite' thing to do was to to offer him brandy and a cigar. |

I remember one Welsh teacher who was a complete nut case and who probably spent weekend setting fire to holiday cottages. His favourite weapon of choice was to hurl a big bunch of keys if you were caught up to something in class. I once saw them coming ducked, they then smashed through a window. I got a right bollocking and was sent down 3 flights of stairs to find them. I found them, dropped them down a grid and told him they were lost.
I Ran into him a number of years later in a pub and admitted to what I'd done, he laughed and said he suspected that's what I'd done and would have done the same thing. I bought him a few drinks that night |

So many things....
In the last year at primary school, our teacher, Mr P., let his favourite girls sit on his lap for a cuddle in front of the class. They didn't seem to mind, but I remember most of us thinking it was a bit weird. Incidentally, two of the girls used to play "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" with me. The entire class - 14 boys and 28 girls - passed their 11-plus, so at least Mr P. could teach. I remember in my 3rd year at grammar school thinking we had just about reached the stage in English Language teaching we reached at the end of primary school.
Grammar school was much more lax, although considered a strict school. Plenty of strange teachers. My first year form (& French language) teacher would pull boys out of their seats by their ears if they misbehaved. |

We had a teacher called Ozzie flick he would pick his nose then flick at someone in class
Another teacher had a glass eye he would take it out put it on his desk when leaving the room saying I’ve got my eye on you lot
Come to think of it all my teachers were all abit strange |

"I used to spend time at teachers homes, it seemed normal but probably wouldn't happen now. "
When I was 13 I played piano for a male octet. They'd practice in my house most Fridays and they'd sing in churches around the south east most Saturdays.
Can you imagine the uproar today! A thirteen year old girl with eight 45+ men!!!

"Cooking class. But girls only
1980 and I was in high school, the first year girls had woodwork, metalwork and technical drawing as part of their timetable and the boys had home economics. "
I was one of only two guys who carried on with H/E into the 4th year in the early 80's. We got the piss taken out of us, but while the rest of the guys were cutting or filing bits of metal and wood, we were surrounded by 20-30 cute girls  |

We just used to make toast in maths, our maths teacher was always pregnant and the supply never turned up.
Our history teacher used to throw the blackboard rubber if one of us wasn't paying attention  |

We had a science teacher as recent as 2000. He was a good looking guy but he had some shady views and told our class that he felt uncomfortable around gay men and didn't think he should have to work with any... there were gay teachers in the school. Ropey back then but saying shit like that now would result in his dismissal and rightly so. |

There was a member of a religious order who used to threaten us with ‘Ill get my little dick out on you’. It’s what he called his instrument of corporal punishment.

Taking the bunsen burner off the rubber pipe, open the valve and blow down it, puts all the bunsens out in the room. Great when you are at a critical point.
I was eventually caught and made to kneel up at the front of the class for twenty minutes, didn’t do it again, well for awhile at least. |

It was a few years after leaveing school that my games teacher actually did get beat up not in the changeing room but actually outside by one of the parents, the teacher used his sports slipper on my buttocks a few times for not bringing my sports kit in one swipe was excruciateing pain but it was the norm in those days nevertheless some schoolkids now days are morons by nature no respect for anyone which is sad really. |
